NYSE Bitcoin ETF Options Filing Withdrawn as Other Exchanges Take Similar Steps

How Will the Market React to the Withdrawal of the NYSE Bitcoin ETF Options Application?

The New York Stock Exchange operator withdrew its application to list and trade options based on the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, according to a filing with the SEC.

• The anticipated regulation change by the NYSE regarding trading options based on bitcoin ETFs was withdrawn.
• Other exchanges have also withdrawn similar applications, but they have also refiled.

SEC Review Extended: CBOE Back with New Application

The NYSE plan was published for public comment in February 2024, and the SEC prolonged its review period several times before starting formal proceedings in April. However, the proposal was withdrawn by the exchange before a decision was reached.

According to records spotted by Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, CBOE, the venue for trading several Bitcoin ETFs, withdrew its application as well but subsequently re-filed with a significantly more comprehensive proposal. Regarding the matter, the SEC has not offered any public remarks or reviews.
